So Ric is just 0.15 seconds faster than de vries with a whole year of car development behind him. There is no possible universe where he should be ahead of tsunoda on the list potential red bull drivers. Yuki on the other hand is giving a very good account of himself. Just needs to gain that maturity he seems to lack which I believe he will gain - max was pretty immature and accident/mistake prone until his midway through his fourth season and he matured. Considering tsunoda was fast tracked to F1(he had only 3 years single seater experience before F1), he is understandably a little behind on his maturity.
